Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes in the talent of the club's current kids.

The former England international, now an analyst for Sky, said United's young players will learn a valuable lesson if they lose out to Manchester City.

"If we were to lose the league, well, we've had this type of season before," said Neville. "I've been part of teams who've found it difficult to get over the line. I think of Arsenal chasing us down in 1998, drawing at West Ham in 1995 or other seasons when it's fallen away.

"It does happen and it's not the end of the world, even though it's a particularly bitter pill to swallow - especially with it being to our local rivals. You just have to get on with it, recover and regroup, learn from it, come back next season and fight like never before."
